Our little 2 year old

Yep, that's right! Hunter Boy is now 2 years old! We celebrated the day with Mickey Mouse pancakes, going to the zoo, and a Birthday party! What a day! Some things that Hunter is up to these days include: playing baseball, swimming, playing with "puppy", doing things himself, sleeping in a big boy bed, and potty training! He LOVE's garbage trucks and calls them Manny, not sure where that came from but that's what he calls them. He also loves about every other big truck. He is becoming such a little boy and is Mr. Independent. He is getting so animated with his facial expressions and some of the things he comes up with to say and do. He certainly keeps us entertained! Also, Hunter is getting ready to share his room with a baby sister... not until November, but he's getting ready! We sure do love our little Hunter Boy!

Happy Birthday Dario!

So for Dario's big three-0, I surprised him and took him on a trip! Our first stop was Disneyland! It was so much fun! I think the best part for both Dario and I was just watching Hunter and all his excitement about it all! Hunter loved pirates of the Caribbean, after we rode that he kept saying "yo-ho". Hunter also got the chance to meet Pooh Bear, Tigger, and Mickey Mouse! He gave them all a big hug and told them he loved them.. so cute!
Our next stop was Arizona! We went to see the Yankees and the Diamondbacks play! We also ate at Joes BBQ(yum yum) and relaxed at the pool a lot while we were there. So enough explainin, there are plenty of pics for you to see for yourself!

















After all said and done, it turned out to be a great surprise!

Yes, we are alive!

I know it has been a while but don't worry, I'm not going to bombard you with a huge update or a ton of pics... We are so excited that the warm weather is finally here! To kick it off we played in the sprinkler the other day! Hunter had a great time, and especially loved spraying Dex! Hunter is getting to be such a little boy, as opposed to a baby.. His vocabulary is widening by the day and so is his curiosity. He is so much fun, he keeps life lively!






Hunter's new shirt!

A Happy Easter it was!

We woke up to a white Easter! Just what I've always dreamed of.. NOT. But we really did, and we didn't get a picture of it because, come on, who wants to see snow in April. Dario and I put together a mini Easter egg hunt in our family room for Hunter. He found all the eggs a little too fast, so I guess we should have hid them better. But none the less he enjoyed it! In the afternoon we went up to my parents house for an outdoor Easter egg hunt (yes the snow melted) and a yummy lunch! Thanks Mom and Dad! It was a fun day filled with family, candy, eggs, and conference. :) Here are some fun pics!

Hunter was so nice, he made breakfast for us..

Listening intently to grandmas instructions for the hunt..

Where are those eggs..

Hunter found some goods..

Hello! So, what have we been up to you ask? Well, really not a whole lot. Still just figuring out life with a dog and a 1 year old... At times it can be trying, but all in all I think we are doing great! Dex is pretty much potty trained! Hooray! Hunter on the other hand just likes toying around with the idea.. Hunter is getting such a personality, and it is sooo fun! He definitely keeps us entertained! Here are a couple pics, enjoy!

Car ride fun!


Playing in the cupboards!

Deep in thought.

Must have fallen asleep daydreaming...

We got a new...

... DOG!

Ha ha! Ok, so this isnt a dog, but he's pretty darn cute! However, yes we really did get a new puppy! For those of you who really know us, know that this is quite the step for Dario. He has never had a dog and the closest thing to a pet would be the 2 gold fish we had a couple of years ago. As for me I have always loved dogs and for the most part growing up we always had a dog. Dario would probably tell you that from day one of our marriage I have wanted a dog of our own. So I dont know how, but I finally talked him into it... and no it wasnt easy! So meet Dex, our 6 week old chocolate lab!
